• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I make my comments, I would like to stand under Standing Order No.1. It seems definitely that the whole House has the mood of contributing to this issue. Could we, with your permission, extend the time to 7.00 p.m.? view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Like my colleague, who we were in the same school has said, the system that you have used, as much as the Standing Orders give you the discretion, has been very unfair to a number of us. It has been very unfair for a number of us because we have been here for a long time. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is not for any other reason, but for the respect that I have for the Chair that you sit on and, because of the element of time and the respect that I have for the other Members, I would prefer to continue deliberating. view

We all know our problems, but those who are capable of tackling the problems are not doing what needs to be done. Corruption is costing us billions of shillings, lost man-hours in thousands, employment opportunities and choking us like killer weeds.
